Abstract Background: Antecedent trauma has been implicated in the causation of soft tissue tumors. Several criteria have been established to define a cause-and-effect relationship. We postulate possible mechanisms in the genesis of soft tissue tumors following antecedent traumatic injury. Case presentation: We present a 27-year-old woman with a paraspinal desmoid tumor, diagnosed 3-years following a motor vehicle accident. Literature is reviewed. Conclusion: Soft tissue tumors arising at the site of previous trauma may be desmoids, pseudolipomas or rarely, other soft tissue growths. The cause-and-effect issue of desmoid or other soft tissue tumors goes beyond their diagnosis and treatment. Surgeons should be acquainted with this diagnostic entity as it may also involve questions of longer follow-up and compensation and disability privileges. Background Case presentation The etiology of most soft tissue tumors is unknown. Our A 27-year-old woman presented with a large subcutaneous search of the English literature revealed a few case reports mass in the upper back (Figure 1) of 8 months' duration. of soft tissue tumors developing at the site of a previous traumatic injury [1-17].

We hope this study will shed more light on this phenomenon. Physical examination revealed a firm mass measuring 15 × 10 cm, adherent to its surroundings, with no apparent pathological vasculature or satellite lesions.

Colonos- copy revealed no abnormalities. Owing to the large size of the tumor and its close proxim- ity to the spine, the initial treatment consisted of tamoxifen 20 mg twice daily and indomethacin 250 mg q8h. The treatment was well tolerated. However, after 4 months, neither subjective nor objective changes in tumor consistency or size were noted. The tamoxifen dosage was therefore doubled. Computerized tomography (CT) scan, 4 months later demonstrated tumor growth. There was no evidence of infiltration of adjacent bony structures or pul- monary metastases. The patient was offered surgery. The tumor was surgically excised. It measured 9 × 12 × 22 cm and weighed 1970 grams. It was relatively well circum- Figure 1 Large subcutaneous mass in the left paraspinal region scribed, with a fibrous consistency, and no areas of hem- Large subcutaneous mass in the left paraspinal region. orrhage or necrosis. Microscopic study revealed relatively low (up to 2–3/10HPF) mitotic activity (Figure 3, 4). The surgical margins were clear. At present, 24 months post- operatively, the patient is tumor-free. Discussion Desmoid tumor is a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm that arises from fascial or musculoaponeurotic tissue. It has a tendency to infiltrate surrounding tissue. The term 'desmoid', derived from the Greek "desmos" which means tendon-like was first employed by Müller [12] in 1838. Desmoid tumors account for 0.03% of all neoplasms [13,14], and 3.0% of all soft tissue tumors [15,16]. Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) have a 1000-fold increased risk of developing desmoid tumors Figure 2 (D) injection, T2W (C) and pre-(A) and post-(B) sagittal view MRI of the tumor: T1WT1W post gadolinium,gadolinium MRI of the tumor: T1W pre-(A) and post-(B) gadolinium injection, T2W (C) and T1W post gadolinium, sagittal view (D).

Traumatic injury has been implicated as a causative factor in the genesis of other soft tissues as well. Radhi et al., [6] reported 3 cases of diffuse centroblastic lymphoma at a site of previous surgery with metallic implants. Two of them were preceded by atypical lymphoid infiltrate. In 1969, Brooke and MacGregor [21] suggested that lipoma may be secondary to trauma because of the pro- lapse of normal deep adipose tissue through a tear in the overlying Scarpa's fascia, namely, "pseudolipoma". Pseu- dolipoma consists of normal adipose tissue in an abnor- mal location, and is not considered a true lipoma because it is not encapsulated. Meggit and Wilson [22] reported 12 Figure 4 Photomicrograph at high power magnification (HE × 100) cases of post-traumatic so-called lipoma. They speculated Photomicrograph at high power magnification (HE × 100). that the tumors were the consequence of a rupture in the septa that normally surround adipose tissue.
